Check out Native Son's new video for 'Riot!'
Shot around his hometown of Brooklyn, it's the opening to debut EP 'Metro Dread'.
Native Son has revealed a new video for Really Very Brilliant single 'Riot!'.
Shot around his hometown of Brooklyn, it's the opening to debut EP 'Metro Dread' and was written in response to the portrayal of BLM protests during the summer.
Native Son explains: "Riot!” is a song about the experiences of two of my close friends who are really involved in the marches for Black Lives around New York City. I wrote this song after a protest which ended badly, and it serves as a response to the portrayal of mostly peaceful protestors as members of the riotous mob that has tried to hijack many of the demonstrations. I chose to tell their stories- and my own, to remind people that we’re not just dots on a TV screen. “Riot!” is a reminder that for some, the fight for justice has become more of a home for them than where they live."
